The. presentinvention may .be. ibrieflydescribed asr vanadium tetraphenyl porphyrinehaving' the. structural formula:
The present' invention involves amethodfor producingwanadium tetraphenyl, porphyrinhavingatheastruc- 1 tural formula described supraby "reactingiyanadiumtpentoxide and hydrochloric acid under refluxing conditions in which an aliphatic alcohol is added to the refluxing mixture. The refluxing is continued until the color of the mixture changes from dark red to bright green and finally to a dark blue or deep blue. Thereafter the pH of the solution is adjusted in a range of about 6.0 to about 7.0 whereby a precipitate is formed. The precipitate is recovered, for example, by filtration and then formed into a second admixture with naphthalene and tetraphenyl porphyrin. The second mixture is refluxed and a bright red melt is obtained. The melt is admixed with distilled water to form a third admixture from which solid material is recovered by filtration. Thereafter the recovered material is extracted in sequence with aliphatic alcohol or acetone to remove naphthalene and with chloroform to form a chloroform extract.
tracted to leave a solid phase from which the vanadium tetraphenyl porphyrin is obtained by sublimation.
The alcohol employed in the practice of the present invention is preferably ethanol, but other aliphatic alcohols, such as methyl alcohol, isopropyl and propyl alcohols as well as the butyl alcohols may be used.
The pH of the solution may be adjusted by employing saturated sodium carbonate and the like.
The aromatic hydrocarbon which is used to extract the residue is preferably benzene but may be any low boiling aromatic hydrocarbon, such as toluene, ortho, meta or paraxylene or ethyl benzene, and the like.
The novel vanadium tetraphenyl porphyrin having the Theextract is dried to a residue which is fractionally ex 2,740,794 Patented Apr: 3,- 1956 Example" 10 parts-of. vanadium. pentoxidewere: placed: in.- a' "reaction. vessel. to-which 50 partsyof concentratedhydro"- chlorio acid. were added. The mixture of-vanadium pentoxide and concentrated hydrochlorid -acid-was re fluxedforabout:15-minutes andthereafterl'-two parts of ethanol werev added and refluxingtcontinuedtfor- -:20---more minutes. During these operationsthe: ma terial's-in the reactionvessel go. through a SBIiCSTOfi-CO'IOI changes: dark .red bright:green; and a clean-bright, dark blue color: In
the synthesis-oi the novel compound of: the presentinvention,. it. isr important that= the-mixture develop the clean, bright, deeper dark blue colorwhich mustihave no'traee of green in itor be substantially freeof greenicoloration.
Thereafter. to the mixture in. the :reaetion vesselk'sa'turated aqueous-sodium carbonate solution-is added until the pH- of. thesolution is between .about-- 6sandaboutfl'. This causes the formation of a lightcocoascolored precipitate: Thisprecipitate is recovered, 1 for examplegi by filtration. and washed. with 100 partsoi, distilled-water in. tvv ct 5.0- part.increments.- The water. washed precipitate: is themwashedwith 50 parts of absolute ethanoli in two 25 part. increments. Theprecipitatei is driedtand immediately removed r from theqfilter-with minimum ex- .posureto and in the substantial absenceof free-oxygen,
suchtas air.: The washed precipitate-is then; placed in a. second... reaction .vessel containing approximately 1 3 0-80 parts. of naphthalene and approximately .5. parts-of= tetraphenyl. porphyrin. A ratio-of naphthalene toItetrapheny-l porphyrindn the range from about-- 6'to about- 15:1; may
be used with satisfactory results being; obtained at a ratiomof. at least about; '6: The mixturein the :second reactionwvesself ist refluxed? at---about 21 7 C. until-a bright red melt is obtained. The meltviss poured into approximately 500 parts of distilled water while stirring.
The solid material is then recovered by filtering the mixture from the second reaction vessel and the solid material is broken up into lumps or granular bodies. The granular bodies are then extracted with ethanol or acetone for several hours in an extractor similar in structure to the Soxhlet extractor, for approximately 3 to 6 hours. When removal of naphthalene is complete by solution in the ethanol, the remaining material is extracted with chloroform in a similar extraction apparatus to form a chloroform extract which is recovered. The chloroform extract is evaporated to dryness to form and recover a residue. This residue is then fractionally extracted with aromatic hydrocarbons, such as benzene and the like. The material which is less soluble than benzene is the vanadium tetraphenyl porphyrin having the structural formula set out supra. This is a solid phase which may be sublimed at 880 F. under reduced pressure; for example, 1 micron to obtain the vanadium tetraphenyl porphyrin as octahedra having a dark redviolet coloration.
It was found that the product obtained, as has been described, contained approximately 7.50% vanadium and was obtained in yields of about based on the theoretical yields.
The'vanadium tetraphenyl porphyrin having the structural formula given supra sublimes at a temperature of 830 to 880 F. at l to 5 microns and is characterized by having a very high melting point, limited solubility in organic solvents, and the following analysis: Calculated for CMHZBNQOVZC, 77.75; H, 4.15; N, 8.24; V, 7.50%. Found: C, 77.73; H, 4.36; N, 8.64; V, 7.48%.
This compound is solid at 460 C. which is higher than any known compound given in the handbook ref erences. The high sublimation temperature indicates thermal stability.
The vanadium tetraphenyl porphyrin is a new compound not found in nature and has the structural formula as given supra wherein the vanadium is linked to the nitrogen by co-valent bonds with the phenyl groups being disposed in the structure as shown attached to the carbon atoms.
